Let's assume it's true, though, and let's assume the Rangers are "overpaying" for Beltre -- more years, more millions than you would have originally wanted the Angels to spend on him. Should the Angels outbid them? Is there anything else worth saving Arte's money for? Might it actually be smart to pay stupid money to keep Beltre away from the Rangers, or should the Angels simply be glad to let the Rangers take on a bad contract -- even if it tilts the AL West heavily toward the Rangers in 2011?
